Gold-Ore Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GOZ) reports financial

Company operates the 100%-owned Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden. The financial
results are expressed in Canadian dollars and further detail can be found in the
Financial Statements and Management Discussion and Analysis filed on the
Company's website at www.goldore.ca.
Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2010
-- Revenues of $10.5 million
-- Operating cash flow of $2.9 million or $0.03 per share
-- Earnings for the period of $0.4 million or $0.00 per share
-- Investment of $1.9 million in mine development
-- Cash on hand as of the end of the period of $4.4 million and working
capital of $5.2 million

-- Gold production of 10,065 ounces and gold sales of 10,003 ounces
-- Average realized gold price of US$1,042 per ounce; production remains
un-hedged
-- Total cash costs of US$807 per ounce
Gold-Ore Chairman Glen Dickson commented, "We are pleased that gold production
has normalized at an annualized rate of 40,000 ounces per year over the last six
months, and the plant is operating at capacity, over 3,000 tonnes per day fed
from both the underground and open pit components of the mine. We are now
focusing our efforts on the economics of the mine and looking to optimize our
mining methods to improve gold grade and reduce operating costs."
Grade Increase Initiative
The underground operation at the Bjorkdal gold mine is best described as a
narrow vein mine with over 45 veins identified for mining. Since narrow vein
mining in Sweden is not common, the Company investigated several operations in
Canada that employ narrow vein mining techniques. Some of these techniques are
now being tested at Bjorkdal. Results of this initiative are expected during the
next few months.
Cost Reducing Initiatives
During the last six months the staff at the Bjorkdal mine has worked on a number
of initiatives to reduce costs, including exploring alternatives with suppliers
and contractors. Contractors represent the single largest cost at Bjorkdal and
the Company is taking a long term approach with a five year plus mine life.
Gold-Ore is reviewing its options including the purchasing or leasing equipment
to become more owner-operator oriented and less reliant on contractors.
